This is only a preview!
Wow! Free Comic Book Day was a blast this year! I just want everyone who I took pictures of to know that I am trying really hard to get your pictures up on this blog. But over 400 pictures were taken on Saturday so please have patience with me as I sort through all of them and make sure I have at least one good picture of everyone. I should have the next post with all the pictures by the end of this week. Until then, I hope you enjoy this look back at the great cosplay characters that volunteer their time to make your day more fun.

Having used the headboard lamp in order to see the grocery ads in my bedroom, I was temporarily blinded when I flipped the light off and grabbed my shoes. I wandered the house for a few minutes while I gathered up my essentials for my outing and headed out the door.
I had to make a couple of quick stops, so I decided to have my prescriptions filled at the local pharmacy first. The drug store was busier than I had normally encountered it because it was now lunchtime. After turning my prescription over to the pharmacy technician, I decided to cruise the store and price some items. Eventually I wandered my way out to my car and drove to the next stop. As I was leaving, I noticed a young man looking at me with a slight smile on his face. (continue reading…)
